The PGA Tour is currently underway at Silvis, Illinois, for the John Deere Classic. The tournament is making a comeback to the PGA Tour after a year. John Deere Classic was suspended last year due to Covid-19. The TPC Deere Run is the host of the tournament, but this year the field is deprived of star players as most of the top-ranked golfers are playing at the Scottish Open or preparing for the British Open.
The field is led by Kevin Na, Sungjae Im, and Steve Stricker. So this provides an opportunity for plenty of other pros to make a move in the FedExCup rankings. Moreover, there is a decent prize money purse for this event. So here’s everything you need to know about the prize money and winner’s payout for the 2021 John Deere Classic.
